Section 3: Shipping & Safety

Resin statues are extremely heavy and the final box dimensions are often not finalized by the studio until production is complete. Calculating shipping at the end ensures you pay the most accurate and fair market rate based on current logistics costs.

8. How do you protect fragile resin statues during transit?
We use "Collector-Grade Packing." This includes the original studio art box, high-density EPE foam inserts, and a thick outer shipping carton. For ultra-fragile pieces, we often add corner guards or double-boxing to minimize the risk of impact damage.
